#38 The Carousel — Hockley Hustle

IndustryVibeyHangout

midday–10:10pm

Presented byHideout Records X Only Notts

Breakout is a whole day put together by Hideout Records and Only Notts, and it's a bit different: talks between the acts about what happens when the thing you love becomes your job, a drink-and-songwrite session where you can have a go yourself, solo sets through the afternoon, then DJs and full bands into the night.

Only Notts exists to get Nottingham artists in one room and raise money for mental health while they're at it. Hideout are the crew who make the videos, photos and records.
